Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite is a skin condition characterized by a dimpled appearance, often likened to the texture of an orange peel or cottage cheese. Despite being a harmless and natural occurrence, many people seek ways to reduce its visibility for aesthetic reasons. EMTONE® is a non-invasive treatment that addresses both the major and minor causes of cellulite, aiming to smooth and tighten the skin.

At The Wellness Clinic at New Boston Village, we specialize in non-invasive treatments that focus on everything from fat reduction to anti-aging. Our cellulite services in Fall River, MA, extend beyond typical cosmetic options, offering medically supervised treatments to help you maintain a youthful and beautiful physique.

Everything You Need to Know About Cellulite

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite refers to the lumpy, uneven texture that can appear on the skin’s surface. This occurs when fat cells push against the skin while fibrous tissue bands pull down, creating an uneven surface. Though not a health concern, its appearance can be less than desirable for some individuals.

Who Gets Cellulite and Why?

The formation of cellulite is not limited by age, gender, or body type; however, it’s more frequently seen in women due to differences in fat distribution, connective tissue, and muscle. Hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and lifestyle factors such as diet and activity level can also influence its development. This makes cellulite treatment a sought-after service for a broad range of people.

What Are the Main Factors Behind Cellulite Formation?

Cellulite is more complex. In fact, multiple factors might work together to create that distinctive dimpled appearance:

Compromised Circulation 

Poor blood flow prevents nutrients from reaching your skin cells and makes it harder for your body to flush out toxins and excess fluids. This creates the perfect environment for cellulite to develop. 

Weakened Collagen Structure 

Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its strength and structure. As you age, collagen production naturally decreases and existing collagen fibers can become rigid and inflexible. When this happens, the fibrous bands that connect your skin to underlying muscle) can harden and pull down, creating the dimples.

Hormonal Influences 

Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or while taking birth control can affect how your body stores fat and maintains skin elasticity. These hormonal fluctuations can also impact circulation and collagen production.

Enlarged Fat Cells 

When fat cells expand, they push up against the skin while those fibrous bands continue pulling down. This creates the characteristic “mattress” or “orange peel” appearance of cellulite. 

Inflammation 

Chronic inflammation, whether from diet, lifestyle factors, or environmental stressors, can weaken connective tissue and impair circulation. This creates a cycle that makes existing cellulite more noticeable and encourages new cellulite formation.

What Areas Are Most Affected by Cellulite?

Cellulite predominantly appears in areas where fat is stored, such as the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. Though less common, it can also manifest on the arms and back. The uneven texture becomes more noticeable when these areas are compressed or when the skin is pinched.

How Is Cellulite Assessed?

Healthcare providers classify cellulite into four grades based on its severity:

Grade 1: Mild

  • No visible dimpling while standing or lying down
  • Pinching the skin or muscle contraction reveals slight “orange peel” texture
  • Most common in younger individuals or early stages

Grade 2: Moderate

  • Skin appears smooth while lying down
  • Standing reveals noticeable dimpling
  • May have a pasty or moderately draped appearance

Grade 3: Advanced

  • Visible dimpling while standing and lying down
  • Clear mattress-like appearance with peaks and valleys
  • Skin may feel cool to the touch due to reduced circulation

Grade 4: Severe

  • Deep, obvious dimpling in all positions
  • Large number of depressions (more than 9)
  • Skin changes such as drooping or altered texture
  • May be accompanied by bruising easily

Can Cellulite Be Treated at Home?

Many over-the-counter treatments focus solely on the skin’s surface or promise quick fixes through caffeine creams or dry brushing. They may offer temporary relief, but they ultimately fall short because they don’t address the multiple root causes of cellulite. 

Why Professional Cellulite Treatments?

Professional treatments like EMTONE work more deeply to promote long-lasting change. These approaches can get rid of cellulite more effectively by targeting both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, offering a more comprehensive approach to cellulite reduction.

Introducing EMTONE

What Is EMTONE?

EMTONE is an advanced cellulite treatment option. It is a non-invasive process that targets fibrous tethers and fat deposits. Unlike many other treatments that focus solely on the skin’s surface, EMTONE works on the underlying causes to offer more lasting results.

How Does EMTONE Work?

The EMTONE technology employs a dual-action process that combines targeted pressure energy and radiofrequency. The pressure energy helps break up the fibrous bands pulling down the skin, while the radiofrequency warms and tightens the skin’s tissues and encourages lymphatic drainage. Together, these mechanisms provide a multifaceted anti-cellulite treatment for longer-lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of Using EMTONE?

Non-Invasive

EMTONE is a cellulite treatment that does not require surgery, anesthesia, or downtime. This makes it a convenient option for those looking to address cellulite without undergoing invasive procedures.

Quick Sessions

EMTONE treatments allow for easy integration into busy schedules. This aspect of speed and convenience makes it a go-to option for cellulite removal without requiring significant time commitments.

Effective Results

EMTONE has demonstrated efficacy in smoothing and tightening the skin’s surface. The treatment aims to provide a comprehensive approach to cellulite reduction, offering better outcomes for those who have already tried other options.

The EMTONE Treatment

Preparation

Before undergoing the EMTONE treatment, a consultation with our medical professionals will help tailor the cellulite treatment options best suited for you. You may be advised to avoid certain medications and topical creams before the treatment. Generally, there’s minimal preparation required, which adds to the overall ease of the process.

During the Treatment

The EMTONE device is moved over the targeted areas in a circular motion. You may feel a warming sensation as the radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy are applied to the skin. We aim to make the cellulite treatment as comfortable as possible, constantly monitoring your comfort levels throughout the session.

After the Treatment

Following the treatment, you can immediately return to your daily activities. There may be some mild redness in the treated areas, but this usually subsides within a few hours. EMTONE is designed for quick recovery, making it an appealing option for cellulite removal without the downtime.

Comprehensive Body Contouring With EMTONE

At The Wellness Clinic at New Boston Village, we take a holistic approach to helping you achieve your body goals. Many patients achieve their best results by combining EMTONE with complementary treatments that target different aspects of body contouring. 

EMTONE + Emsculpt NEO

Adding Emsculpt NEO to your EMTONE treatments can lead to more dramatic body transformation. While EMTONE smooths and tightens your skin, Emsculpt NEO builds and tones muscle, reduces fat cells and enhances your overall body contours.

Medical Weight Loss

Starting a medical weight loss program before your body contouring treatments sets the foundation for success. By reaching and stabilizing at your target weight first, you’ll get better results from both EMTONE and Emsculpt NEO. The program helps improve your overall health markers and creates better conditions for skin tightening.

After body contouring, the healthy habits and stability you develop through the program become essential tools for sustaining your body and skin improvements long-term.
